It is easy to feel comfortable here on planet earth; this spinning ball of blue we call home. And of course it is, this is all we have ever known. Our souls were born into the liquid warmth of our mother's wombs, then nine months later we tumbled into a swirling world of color, cold, and noise which we immediately disdained. We learned to love it though. We came to understand the sensations we experienced through taste and touch and sight and smell and sound. The world ceased to be terrifying. She became our beautiful friend who taught us to love her more everyday.
The world is a awful flirt though. This wild, wonderful world really cannot satisfy us. She may tease us with her imagination-defying beauty, but her beauty is finite. This world is not our home. God placed us here as souls trapped in bodies so we can ultimately discover Him. This world is beautiful, but its temporary beauty is nothing compared to the eternal beauty of God and the world where we belong.
